Ifc is wita regret The Sentinel notos Hom. Don M. assertáon tfaat mot more than 25 per cent. o! Michigan demócratas favor the free eolnage of silver. He certainly is in error, or has been misquoted. Il 25 per oent. represent any factioo of the party it ïs thiat lavoring gold moBometalism, ibut thie faction is too large for tbat unless the party has fallen off.- Ypsilanti Sentinel. Tbere appears tobea difference o] opinión hiere. If but 25 pe reent, of the democratie party favors a gold Standard, there must have been a t erribly stupid lot of free silver delegates sent to the recent state convention at Detroit, which declared agaïnst thelr views. Bither the brains öf the party are al] on the gold side or else tbere Is 8 mistake fcn the Sentinel's iigures. There is not the least mistake, however, about the democratie party havln;g "fallen off." ■ The Sentinel has a further bone to piek wttto Mr. Dicktnson. Hear it: "In his talk with the Evening News, Mr. Dickioson charges that 'The free tilver men had bajbtalions of men around tlus state establlshing free silver clubs, establislüog newspaper orgaus and hiring editors, and iï any money wals used i ntihie state it was used in behalf of the free silver syndicate, oianized and exietlng outside of tïite state, and fumishing money to carry on the campaign in this state.' The Sentinel considers this an outrageous calummy and demands of Mr. IHcklnson bis proof of the charge."' Xow Dom M. has the floor. Pistols amd coffee ? D. M. Ferry, oL Detroit, has accepted the chairrnanship of the republican state central committee, and the leadership of the party in Michigan. He is an able man, aud will make un excellent chairman. All of the deleaates to the republican national convention liave been chosen and McKinley is the choice of 568 and upwards. A glorious majorit}'. Maj McKinley is the choice of the rank ant file of his party. Last year was the first one for sis yeajB wïxen ou.r exporta feil below $800,000,000. Opening the markets of the world with the "fl'ilson democra tic t-axiff key so far has not .provea a hilarious success. - Louisville Oom mercial. Oharles Francis Adams says a young man should be able to write and epeai the Enslish language correctly beiore entering college. The rule would 1) a good one ateo for a man leavma college, but it would seriously cu down the list of graduates. WMte of the leading daily papers are already etigaged in making up a McICinley cabine t we tnake this predicti'On, tha.t on the 4th oí March, 1897, Gen. Ruseell A. Alger of Michigan, and Congressman Xelsou Dingley, of Maine, will be "etrlctly iu it."-Cedar Springs Clipper. It.is hinted that Mr. Platt of New York, and Senator Quay of Pennsylvania, are to work from now on with tlie republican delegates to convinoe them that these twO men know more than the combined judgment of the entire party. Republicans should be on their guard. Any other nomination than that of McKinley, under present circumstances, would disrupt the party. If Spain elhoobs those Americans she , found on the Competitor, she'U witness a meteoric shower from American guns, that will fill lier coasts witli wreckage.- Ypsilantian. That's the ) sort of jingoism that means crasiness. I No drum-head courfc ' martials ior American citizens. A fair trial by an impartial jury is one of the rocks on which American freedom stands. McKinley served all through the war, and for the first fifteen nionths as a private soldier.

Now the party has an opportunity to show its gratitude. ,
